Malden Transparency v. Old Colony Technical Vocational High School (SPR 20212467)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records October 1, 2021 SPR21/2467 Aaron L. Polansky Superintendent-Director Old Colony Regional Vocational Technical High School 476 North Avenue Rochester, MA 02770 Dear Mr. Polansky: I have received the petition of OpenMalden.com appealing the response of the Old Colony Regional Vocational Technical High School (School) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On September 26, 2021, OpenMalden.com requested “billing statements and/or invoices from” and “documents evidencing payments made to” a named law firm. The School responded on the same day, providing a fee estimate. Objecting to the fees, OpenMalden.com appealed, and this case was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the School provided a supplemental response. In an email to OpenMalden.com and this office on October 1, 2021, a representative of the School provided OpenMalden.com with records responsive to the request. In light of the supplemental response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. OpenMalden.com may further appeal the substantive nature of the School’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: OpenMalden.com One Ashburton Place, Room 1719, Boston, Massachusetts 02108 • (617) 727-2832• Fax: (617) 727-5914 sec.state.ma.us/pre • pre@sec.state.ma.us
